COMMUNITY SERVICE DRIVE IS BACKED BY LONTZ CONTRIBUTION With solicitation begun today among the white people of the city, the officers of the .James M. Townsend Branch of the Richmond Community Service expressed the belief that the drive for . $3,000 would be completed within -the next few days.

..The very first among the white j people to make a contribution this j morning was John M. Lontz. Mr. Lontz said, "The work among the col- j ored people has my heartiest support j nnd co-operation and I feel there are many others of the leading citizens who" will be glad to help in such a worthy movement." i Those in charge of the campaign feel that the response from the colored reople of the city has been all that could be wished for as every individual who has been approached has shown an enthusiasm and willingness lo give that makes the success of the drive seem assured," and demonstrates already the results of even the small program that has thus far been promoted. Expect All Round Program. When a full program can be developed under the leadership of the trained worker, who will be employed, there will be wholesome activities for men and women, boys and girls, young and old activities that will not only furnish amusement, but that will have in them very positive values in character bulding for the individual and the making of better citizens for the community. Requires Central Building The promotion of the program as outlined will require a building to be developed as a community center a3 at the present time there is no place where the colored people can gather for meetings and social contacts with each other. Many cities in adjacent territory have already established such community houses for their colored population, among which might

be mentioned Dayton, Ohio: Zane-

svllle, Ohio; Newport, Kentucky: Covington, Kentucky; Rockford, Illinois, and Chicago.

Recreational activities and com

munity singing were conducted in Greenwood last night with a large and

enthusiastic group. Music for the

evening was furnished by a local band of which Mr. Clay is the director. Ward chairmen will report this evening at 9 o'clock at the Masonic hall

and although the solicitation has been started among the white people the solicitation among the colored people will be continued until every individual has been given the opportunity of contributing. More than $1,000 of the $3,000 needed ha3 already been subscribed.

DISORDERS STAGED BY OIL COMPANIES, SECRETARY CALLES

(By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, July 9. Disorders that occurred at Zacamixtla, state of Vera Cruz, on Thursday when workmen at a petroleum camp attacked oil properties in that district, have subsided, and the situation there is tranquil, it was- announced last night by Plutarco E. Calles, secretary of the interior. He had just concluded a telegraphic conversation with General Adalberto Tejada, governor of the state of Vera Cruz, and declared the demonstration on Thursday was of a minor character. Secretary Calles, characterized rumors regarding the trouble at Zacamix

tla as "another attempt by oil com

panies to place difficulties between the United States and Mexico." He asserted there was no foundation for exaggerated rumors, inasmuch as the

unemployed workmen had given a

"laudable example of decorum." Gen

eral Tejada is said to have informed

the secretary that more than 12,000

men were out of work in the Vera

Cruz oil fields. Rush Troops to District A statement issued by the war of

fice last night relative to the situation

in Tampico was reassuring, although it was stated troops were being rushed to that district as a precautionary measure. It was said that Garrisons at various points in the states of San Luis Potosi, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to give any needed assistance to the fifteen thousand soldiers at present in the petroleum region of the state of Tamaulipas. The text of an official order to the army, asking all soldiers to give ten per cent of their pay for the relief of the unemployed, was made public at the war office. It was understood, however, that President Obregon did not desire this order to be carried out, believing there were sufficient funds in the national treasury to provide all the aid necessary for workmen, many of whom were said to be suffering

Arcanum, of cancer. The deceased, fj:a A U:i J was 35 years old. Surviving her is "ine Appeals OTe tiled

twenty thousand to one hundred fifty

thousand men as directed by congress. Tentative plans for the reduction already have been drawn by the general staff the secretary said, although these have not proceeded to the point where a decision has been reached as to what units might be disbanded. It was estimated that six of the military encampments constructed during the war and still maintained as armj posts will be abandoned in the reduction process. The ones to be so affected, however, have not been decided on and probably will not be until recommendations are submitted by a congressional committee investigating the subject. In any circumstances, it was said, the army will retain title to the land, water and sewerage systems of the reservations so that they may be made available without delay in case of emergency.

Dispatches telling of the withdrawal

of American warships from Tampico were received late last night, after the government officials had closed. Officials who were reached declared they would not be quoted on the situation.

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 9 Democratic attacks on the Fordney tariff bill opened In the house today with RepreFentative Garner, of Texas, ranking

Democrat on the ways and means committee, asserting that "not a Rebublican in the house can distinguish between this and the Payne-Aldrich bill." Declaring that no other tariff bill had ever been presented without a statement showing the amount of revenue it would bring in, Mr. Garner pressed Chairman Fordney and others to give at least a rough estimate. Nobody answered. "You don't know what the rates lire," he chouted. "and you don't know the effect this bill will have on the country. Having no information you ?eek to give none, being satisfied to rush it through simply because you have the votes."

SUNBURN MAY PROVE CAUSE OF ILLNESS, SAY LOCAL DOCTORS Do you like to see how sunburnt you can get, then parade the evidence of your exposure to your friends? Better be on your guard agains too severly scorching yourself was the advice of two local physicians, Saturday. Where persons have been reckless about the exposure of the skin to th" burning rays of the sun. they have been known to become very ill from the effect and in some cases, die. The reason for this is explained by the physician's as resulting from the stopping of the normal functioning of the skin by baking it dry. Whether or not one recognizes the fact, the skin is the respiratory part of the body, explain physicians. When burned by the sun the heart is compelled to pump against itself. The heart shock is the cause of death. Must Keep Active One doctor urged that bathers not go in swimming and just lay around all afternoon in a pool. The relaxa

tion or inaction thus induced has the tendency to cause the proper skin functioning to cease, he said. While such a condition might not prove fatal, he explained, the condition might lead to serious illness. Neither physician wished to cause undue worry about, sunburn, for they both agreed that the body would necessarily have to be well burned to result in a fatality. They did, however, wish to call attention to those who were exposing themselves to serious results which are possible when one is reckless. Lard, cold cream, white vaseline, lanolin and olive oil have been suggested as preventatives against burns if the bather applies the grease or ointment before venturing into a pool. The skin will also brown beneath the application, it is said.
